Needless to say, this is has nothing to do with today's date. No fooling!
I have been in limbo a bit the past couple of weeks, waiting for the decision of the Ph.D. studies committee. To keep it short and sweet, they approved my petition and I am cleared to revise over the summer.
This is a small victory (more a sigh of relief). The real test comes as I revise from now to the end of July. My draft deadline is August 1.
Thanks to all of you who have been keeping me in your prayers.
